Interest from Chelsea was confirmed, though this was before he joined Atletico Madrid. Although top clubs remain interested in the 25-year-old World Cup winner, it’s unclear if he will still be a target for these clubs. Romano says: 'After the fantastic performances in recent weeks, six goals in the last three games, including a very good performance in the derby against Real Madrid, he’s in very good condition.' 'He wanted to clarify the situation – it’s about Barcelona or other clubs in the Premier League.' 'But he wanted to speak in public to clarify that his focus is on Atletico Madrid. It’s a World Cup season with Argentina. Before that, Alvarez will forget about all the speculation. Then, after the World Cup, if anything happens, will have plenty of time to work out what will happen.' 'The position of top clubs around Europe is absolutely normal. There’s always been interest in him: PSG tried to sign him before he went to Real Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal were interested but Manchester City didn’t want to sell him in England. Now there are the Barcelona rumours.' Alvarez is under contract with Atletico Madrid until June 2030 and has a current market value of €100 million, according to Transfermarkt.
